[missing-sync-hiptop-talk] "Synchronization Failed!" *ouch*

[flint]

The error message, "Synchronization Failed! The synchronization  
failed because of a communication or you have exceeded the record  
limits. Some records may not have been synchronized."

Yep, I'm over the limit. Here's the issue: repeat calendar items  
(birthdays, holidays, weekly meetings, etc.) fill up the 1,000 item  
limit. Some suggestions:

1) Limit the window of time to a week, two weeks, or month. I synch  
often enough where knowing what happens three months from now isn't a  
big concern. Also, what happened has already happened; I don't need  
previous calendar items. If folks do want previous calendar items on  
their device, what about allowing for user input ranges?

2) Not sure if this is how it works now, but only allowing the first  
1,000 items, both repeating or non-repeating. From today.

3) The ability to ignore repeating events.

Due to the repeating events in calendars, the syncing software is  
pretty much useless at this point because it won't allow new items to  
be added. And there is no way I can add additional items via the device.

I could remove the previous calendar item in iCal, but I want them. I  
don't want to have to delete them. I don't necessarily need them on  
my Hiptop/Sidekick device though.

Mac OS X 10.4.2
Missing Sync for Hiptop 2.0
iCal 2.0.2
